At last he went to the table, took up

At last he went to the table, took up
the glass-and we felt so disappointed,
for We thought he was going to drink it;
but he took it and threw it-smash,
right into the CRATE, and the bottle after
it.
''There, . he said, "Ill see if you'll
stand between me and saving my boy u
and then he reached for the pen and
wrote, Herbert Standish,' in those
great letters of his.
We didn't stay long, only to kiss and
hug him, and then we skipped up stairs
where mamma and Clare were sitting so
white and anxious. They could hardly
believe it, but there it was-papa's
name.
They consulted us for while, and
then they decided that, as we had such
good success with papa, We might try
alone with Ned.
We heard him practicing the violin
in his room, but when We knocked hard,
he said:
"Come in"
Well, We were even more scared than
when we went to papa; but he took the
paper and read it, and when he saw
papa's name he whistled right out:
hW-h-e-w!"
Then his face worked just like Nays
does when she is going to cry, and he
walked to the window and blew his nose
hard. May took the pen and paper to
him, aud said:
"Please, brother Ned, won't you
write your name here I" And then she
told him, so sweetly, about papa's feel
ing so bad and throwing the wine into
the CRATE. He trembled little, but he
said:
eyes, 1 will, I'll keep it, too, God
helping me. If father can, cam"
And that's how We got Ned to sign,
and we are all SO happy now.-Rcyal

A Clear Case.

The Boston Bndget tells this real life
story:-In one of Boston's prominent
dry goods establishments yesterday,
while a lady was making some purchases,
her attention was called to colloquy
between prospective purchaser and
salesman. The party desiring the goods
asked to he shown what she required,
and being accommodated in that particu-
lar examined the article deliberately and
carefully, and expressed the greatest sat
isfaction, saying it WAS just exactly what
she wanted. Then turning to the sales
man, she asked: "What did you say
is the price per yard!" Twenty-Five
cents" came the reply. "Why" in
dignantly exclaimed the aroused custom
er, putting the goods from her with
gesture Of contempt. Il don't want it.
then. want to pay fifty cents a yard"
and she tossed her head in the air,
mquiring. "Whcre can get what I
want"

At Castle Garden.

In the garden at the time of the re-
porter's visit was family of Russian
Jews who had arrived the night before.
They had been detained until the Com
mission should render a formal decision
upon them. Not one of them could be
called able-bodied. They were intirm,
knew no trade, had been at the best
but peddlers in Russia, which meant
beggars, were ragged, dirty, wretched,
to the last degree, had not ms much as a
cent of money, and were without rela-
tives or friends here. The representa-
tive Of the Hebrew Immigrants Aid So
ciety had talked with them, but even he,
with all the race devotion which charac
terizes the Jews, could not bring him.
self to say that he would see that they
became self-supporting members of the
community. A decision had been quick
ly reached and presently it was commu-
nicated officially to the group. They
could not understand a word OF English,
but they had been told that there was
great doubt of their being allowed to
land, and they sought to CLEAN from the
officials tones and facial expression the
purport Cd his report. They watched the
reading with the most painful interest,
mouths open, hands appraised, and when
it had been concluded and the interpre-
ter had told them in one word its mean
ing, they fell into the most extravagant
lamentation. The leader of the party,
an old man whose toes protruded from
his boots, fell upon the floor and tried
to embrace the official knees while sup

let them remain. They were sternly
told to make no disturbance, and were
left to themselves until the barge should
come to take them back to the steamer.
Their moaning and wailing continued
for hours, the men making all the noise,
while the one or two women with pinch
ed and long drawn faces rocked their in
fants to and fro and said nothing. 1t
was altogether most pitiful spectacle.

Lost His Life.

Mr.. Ike Sessums, who owns the
grocery at Sessums Station, near Stark
vile, Miss, has lost good deal of his
stock during the spring by the depreda-
tions of burglars. Last Monday night
he set trap for the rascals by charging
his gun heavily with buckshot,
cooking it, and setting it in such posi-
ton that the first man who attempted to
open the door was bound to be shot.
Tuesday morning he came down to the
store as usual and forgetting all about
the gun, unlocked the door and opened
it. Both barrels were discharged as if
by clock work, and the entire load en-
tered his body. At last accounts he was
lingering between life and death.

there are sixty drinks in gallon. You

"Nigger in the Wood Pile.

cause they expect the market to drop still

a rise in prices is imminent; but vet they

The Crisis.

The careful observer of the times is
impressed with the rushing current in be-
half of prohibition all over the country.
1t is the a~ll-absorbing theme of discussion
from Maine to Georgia, from the St.
Lawrence to the Rio Grande. 1t is at
tention of the public mind thar any other
subject. The liquor traffic is assaulted
with more heroiSm, yigor and effect than
ever before. Able pens and eloquent
tongues are vigorously assailing this mon
ster crime and its abettors. The saloon
lists are terror stricken, and are marshall
ing their hosts for a defence of their ne
farious business, and an INSCRIPTIONS at
tack upon the friends of temperance and
religion. At such an hOur as this it is no
time for the friends of prohibition to fall
ter-victory is within the grasp of its
brave advocates, but time, effort, and
money are demanded in order to succeed.
The friends of temperance must initiate
the s~aloonists in effort and expenditures
if they would insure an early triumph of
their cause. Now is the time to strike
the monster with quick and heavy blows /;
10Y is the hour to take advantage of the
tidal wave of public sentiment that is
sweeping over the land, and pray and
vote for the overthrow of the liquor traf-
fic and the restoration of the moderate
drlnker and the drunkard to sobrietv. to
usefulness. and happiness.

Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway's
Self Rising Bread.

When the kitchen fire is lighted
in the morning, put a quart cup one
third full of fresh water on the range
and heat it quickly to 50 degrees.
Remove from the fire, add a tea
spoonful of salt, a pinch of brown
sugar and coarse -four enough to
make a batter of about the right
consistency for griddle cakes. Set
the cup, with the spoon in it, in a
closed vessel half filled with water,
moderately hot, but not scalding.
Keep the temperature as nearly even
as possible, and add a teaspoonful
Of -four once. or twice during the
process of fermentation. The Yeast
ought to reach to the top of the
bowl in about five hours. Slip your
flour into a pan, make an opening
in the centre, and pour in your yeast.
Have ready a pitcher of warm milk,
sailed, or milk and water, not too
hot, or you will scald the yeast
germs, and stir rapidly into a pulpy
mass with a spoon. Cover this
sponge closely, and keep warm for
an hour, then knead into l~oaves,
adding flour to make tie proper con-
sistency. Place in warm. well
creased pans, cover closely, and
leave till it is light. Bake in a steady
oven, and when done let all the hot
steam escape. Wrap closely in
damp towels, and keep in closed
earthern jars until it is wanted.
There is no sweeter, nicer, better
or wholesome bread than this, but
it takes time, patience and thought
to make it. Try it and be convinced.

Plain Living.

A LAWYER by profession, but a judge in
one of the highest courts in New York
for twenty-three years, is noted for me-
thodical habits, legal acumen and perfect
integrity. Long past sixty: erect and
vigorous as a man of forty, he cannot
count a day lost by sickness in a quarter
of a century. At his post as regularly as
the sun rises, after adjournment he writes
out the opinions of the court which al
ready fill several large volumes. No man
in the city is more worthy of the univer-
sal regard which he long since secured.
Having long known Judge Blank, / once
asked him the secret of his power. ..Plain

ton. l was a nervous youth, high-strung
and eXcitable. / smoked, drank occasion

myself the victim of dyspepsia. l began
to study my habits and their influence on

in fixing a rule of life which | have since
followed infiexibly. After a plain but
substantial breakfast, l loiter about for
an hOur or two and then walk to the
courthouse, or a distance equal to three
miles or more. Having previously had

O'Clock l am through for the day, and
walk up town again. Rain or shine, cold
or hot, finds me swinging my arms and
Flooding along in the same gait. All le-
gal work is dismissed as utterly from my

Children Never Young.

Who. that has lived in cities has not
ters?-a class of children who nave never
been young; boys and girls whose sharp
features denote the experience of sOrdid
age, whose anRmic bodies and feshless
limbs bespeak habitual innutritiOn and
whose sinister and hard expression shows
how fervid is the hate they already bear
to a world which has acquainted them
only with suffering and sin. Everywhere
this class of city-bred children is on the
increase. Everywhere anxious philan-
thropists, s~oeiologists, ~penalogists, are
discussing its treatment, and wondering
what shall be lone with it.
The organization of charity, the organ
iZatiOn of criminal administration, are
alike busy with the problem, and systems
of corrective and educational institutions
this express purpose. Meanwhile, the
supply of material does not diminish, as
how should it? The saloon is at work
night and day to maintain it. Not con-
tent with ~debauching the adult genera
ton, it plants its deadly seeds in the sys-
TENS of unborn children; it projects the
curse from generation to generation. The
city-bred children, whose premature
knowledge of evil, p%recocious sayagery,
a~nti-social proclivities may well cause APP
p~rehension for the future, are made what
they are more by the saloon than by any
other agency. 1t influenced their lives
before they saw the light. 1t gave them
weakness or disease on both sides. 1t
handicapped them in the race of life from
the start. 1t is doing this steadily, con-
%tinually, and society nevertheless cOntin-
ues to tolerate such an agency continues
to act precisely as though its elimination
were unthinkable continues to evolve its
houses of correction, Industrial schools,
asylums, probationary institutes, and
shifts of all kinds in profusion. keeping
3its+eyes shut to the perennial; provocative
energies of the saloon, whose unremitting
exercise renders these remedial measures
as futile as the effort to fill the bottom
less jars of the Danaides.
